7. ACCESSORIES
On page 4 the accessories numbered are shown in the picture of the equipment's SKV box
(Emergency Response Box) and numbered 5, 6, 7 and 8.
5.
One karabiner with pulley (mini snatch block) for angled line movement in e.g. interior
nacelle rescues.
6.
One edge iron to protect the line from chafing when moving over the edge. e.g. on the roof
of the nacelle.
7.
One "fishhook" with karabiner for lifting persons post falling in fall arrester. The fishhook is
used to connect the rescue equipment and the fallen person's triggered fall arrester.
(Use of the fishhook is referred to on page 26 of the basic course compendium.)
8.
Three "slings" for suspending equipment or as an improvised grip when
rescuing. (NB: the total number of slings may vary in relation to the ordered configu-
ration.)
NB: The use of accessories with the rescue equipment is an integral part of the
equipment and most be utilized as recommended by the producer, and as relayed
during training.
8. STORAGE, INSPECTION AND CLEANING
The rescue equipment is emergency equipment and must be inspected each time it is
unpacked and used, before it is repacked and sealed in a transport and storage box.
Inspection and packing must be carried out by a CRESTO certified competent person.
If the equipment is wet, all metal parts must be dried with a cloth. The equipment must then
be hung out to drip dry at room temperature out of direct sunlight (no UV effects). Never
hang the equipment in a warm cupboard, boiler room or similar place. Drying in sunlight is
NOT PERMITTED!
All rescue and fall arrest equipment will have a long service life if it is kept clean, stored in a
dry place and kept away from sunlight. The equipment must not come into contact with oil,
chemicals or aggressive substances.
